[NSRCA-discussion] Reversed ailerons bike analogy

[Peter Vogel]

Here's why.  You don't actually steer a bike by turning the handlebars (for the most part) but rather by leaning in a particular direction with a very slight deflection of the front wheel to reduce skidding.  If you cross your arms you may pull with the correct arm but your lean will be to the wrong direction which *always* results in a fall.  Try it sometime on a regular bike.  Turn right but lean left, you'llBe down in less than a second.  Unless/until you can train yourself to lean opposite you will fall on that bike.  
ATV's actually handle better if you lean to the outside of a turn, I wonder if an avid ATV rider would have an easier time on it.

Ron, one of the guys on the video tried crossing their arms to ride it and it didn't help.

If anyone wants a taste of a bike with the reversed turn set up -
Try crossing your arms and gripping right bar with left hand etc.
Ya might want to be in the proximity of an emergency room.

I have have had a bike set up like this for ten years now .trust me you cannot ride it . Saw it at a fair years ago so we made one 
The guy was betting people a buck to ride it he had a stuffed pocket :) 
May be ill get it aired up and bring it to the Dixie contest! Any takers?

This will make anyone who has crashed a reversed aileron plane feel a lot better and those who have successfully landed one feel like a stud!!!
